Patient's question:
My cousin is 7 years old and has been hospitalized for 7 days due to allergic purpura. At first, the spots appeared on his legs, but now the doctor says they have moved to his stomach. He has vomited blood twice. Can purpura also spread to the stomach? They also said that if it spreads to the kidneys or brain, it would be incurable. What should we do? Is there a risk to his life? How is it treated? I can't hear the voice clearly.Doctor's answer:
Allergic purpura, also known as acute vasculitic purpura, hemorrhagic capillary toxicosis, allergic vasculitic purpura, or Henoch-Sch?nlein syndrome, is more common in children under the age of 7, with boys being more affected. The highest incidence occurs in spring. It is best to take medication under the guidance of a doctor. You can go to a formal and professional Grade III-A hospital for treatment to see how the condition is. Try to minimize the child's exposure to allergens.
